CHARACTERISTICS Explosive ‘An explosive substance or waste is a solid or liquid substance or waste (or mixture of substances or wastes) which is in itself capable by chemical reaction or producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings. Flammable Liquid: The word “flammable” has the same meaning as “inflammable”. Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (for example paints, varnishes, lacquers and others but not including substances or wastes, otherwise classified on account of their dangerous characteristics) which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than 60.5°C, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6°C open-cup test (since the results of open-cup tests and closed-up tests are not strictly comparable and even individual results by the same tests are often variable, regulations varying from the above figures to make allowance for such difference would be within the spirit of this definition), Flammable Solids Solids or waste solids, other than those classed as explosives, which under conditions encountered in transport are readily combustible, or may cause or contribute to fire through friction. Substances or wastes liable to spontaneous combustion Substance or wastes which are liable to spontaneous heating under normal conditions encountered in transport or to heating up on tract with air, and being then liable to catch fire Substances or wastes which, in contact with water emit flammable gases; substances or wastes which, by interaction with water, are liable to become spontaneously flammable or give off flammable gases in dangerous quantities Oxiding Substances or wastes which, while in themselves not necessary combustible, may generally, by yielding oxygen, cause or contribute to the combustion of other materials.

Toxic (delayed or chronic) Substances or wastes which, by interaction with air or water, are liable to give out toxic gases in dangerous quantities. Substances or wastes which, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate through the skin may involve delayed or chronic effects, including carcinogenicity.

When operating a gravity flow autoclave, medical shall be subjected to: 4 temperature of not less than 121°C and pressure of 15 pounds per square inch (psi) for an autoclave residence time of not less than 60 minutes; or a temperature of not less than 135°C and a pressure of 31 psi for an autoclave residence time of not less than 45 minutes; or 4 temperature of not less than 149°C and a pressure of 52 psi for an autoclave residence time of not less than 30 minutes T— When operating a vacuum autoclave, medical waste shall be subjected to a minimum Of one pre-vacuum pulse to purge the autoclave of all air. ‘The waste shall be subjected to the following a temperature of not less 121°C and a pressure of 15 psi per autoclave residence time of not less than 45 minutes; or 4 temperature of not less than 135°C and a pressure of 31 psi for an autoclave residence time of not less than 30 minutes; IIL Medical waste shall not be considered properly treated unless the time temperature and pressure indicators indicate that the required time, temperature and pressure were reached during the autoclave process. If for any reasons, time temperature, pressure or residence time was not reached, the entire load of medical waste must be autoclaved again until proper temperature, pressure and residence time were achieved. IV__ Recording of operational parameters Each autoclave shall have graphic or computer recording devices, which will automatically and continuously monitor and record dates, time of the day, load identification number and operating parameters throughout the entire length of the autoclave cycle. V Validation test Spore testing: The autoclave should completely and consistently kill biological indicator at the maximum design capacity of each autoclave unit, Biological indicator for autoclave shall be Bacillus stearothermophilus spore using vials or spore strips, with at least 1 x 10* spores per milliliter. Under no circumstances will an autoclave have minimum operating parameters less than a residence time 30 minutes, regardless of temperature and pressure, a temperature less than 121°C or pressure less than 15 psi VI Routine Test ‘A chemical indicator strip/tape that changes colour when a certain temperature is reached can be used to verify that a specific temperature has been achieved. It may be necessary to use ‘more than one strip over the waste package at different location to ensure that the inner content of the package has been adequately autoclaved STANDARDS FOR LIQUID WASTE, ‘The effluent generated from the hospital should conform to the following limits: PARAMETERS PERMISSIBLE LIMITS pH 65-985 Suspended solids, 100 mg/l Oil and grease Nil BOD 30 mg/l cop 50 mg/l Bio-assay test 90% survival of fish after 96 hours in 100% effluent ‘These limits are applicable to those hospitals, which are either connected with sewers without terminal sewage treatment plant or not connected to sewage. For discharge into public sewers with terminal facilities, the general standards as notified under the Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Water Quality) Regulations 2006 shall be applicable. STANDARDS FOR MICROWAVING Microwave treatment shall not be used for cytotoxic, hazardous or radioactive wastes, contaminated animal carcasses, body parts and large metal items. ‘The microwave system shall comply with the efficacy test/routine tests and a performance guarantee may be provided by the supplier before operation of the unit. ‘The microwave should completely and consistently kill the bacteria and other pathogenic organisms that is ensured by approved biological indicator at the maximum design capacity of each microwave unit. Biological indicators for microwave shall be Bacillus subtilis spores using vials strips with at least 1 x 10° spores per milliliter. STANDARDS FOR DEEP BURIAL A pit trench should be dug about 2 metres deep. It should be filled with waste, and then covered with lime within 50 cm of the surface, before filling the rest of the pit with soil It must be ensured that animals do not have any access to burial sites. Covers of galvanized iron/wire meshes may be used. On each occasion, when wastes are added to the pit, a layer of 10 cm of soil shall be added to cover the wastes. Burial must be performed under close and dedicated supervision, ‘The deep burial site should be relatively impermeable, and no shallow well should be close to the site ‘The pits should be distant from habitation, and sited so as to ensure that no contamination ocours of any surface water or groundwater. The area should not be prone to flooding or erosion. 7. The Authority will authorize the location of the deep burial site. 8, The institution shall maintain a record of all pits for deep burial MADE ON: HONOURABLE KIVUTHA KIBWANA MINISTER FOR ENVIRONMENT AND (ATURAL OURCES
